Abstract :
The peculiarities of measurement of automatic locomotive signalisation rail currents when using vertically oriented induction sensors are analysed in this article. It is shown that use of such sensors make it possible to obtain a higher ratio of signal to disturbance than for horizontally oriented ones in almost all cases of possible disturbance source situations.
